                            DATED : JULY 08, 2009<\/p>\n
     ORAL JUDGMENT (Per Ferdino I. Rebello,J.):\n<\/p>\n
            Rule. Heard forthwith.\n<\/p>\n
            After the matter was heard, the          counsel for the Petitioner has made a<\/p>\n
     submission that the Petitioners      are not contesting the order of the Settlement<\/p>\n
     Commission but only pray that they may be allowed to pay by installments. The<\/p>\n
     limited question is whether it is open to this court, in the exercise of its extra ordinary<\/p>\n
     jurisdiction, to grant installments to the Petitioners even when the Settlement<\/p>\n
     Commission itself in its order has not so provided.\n<\/p>\n
     2.     The learned counsel for that purpose has placed for our consideration the<\/p>\n
     instructions issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance (Department of<\/p>\n
     Revenue), the Central Board of Excise and Customs dated 5th August, 1985 contained<\/p>\n
     in F. No. 289\/56\/85-CD.9. By that circular it is set out that the powers of the<\/p>\n
     Principal Collector of Central Excise to pay by installments have been withdrawn<\/p>\n
     and this issue had been under consideration of the Government for some time past.\n<\/p>\n
     The Government had now decided to delegate to Principal Collector of Central<\/p>\n
     Excise the power to grant, in individual cases, the facility of payment of Central<\/p>\n
     Excise dues upto twelve installments, on merits. The facility was to be granted only<\/p>\n
     in deserving cases, taking into account the financial position of the assessee, the long<\/p>\n
                                                           ::: Downloaded on – 09\/06\/2013 14:45:22 :::<\/span>
\n                                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
     term interest of revenue and on the usual terms and conditions with simple interest<\/p>\n
     17.5%     compounded at the end of each month chargeable from the date of<\/p>\n
     confirmation of the demand. This was further clarified by Circular No.32\/32\/94\/CX<\/p>\n
     dated 11.4.1994. Relying upon these circulars, the learned counsel submits that it is<\/p>\n
     open to grant installments.\n<\/p>\n
     3.      The application in the instant case was field on 31.5.2007. It was allowed to<\/p>\n
     be proceeded with on 22.01.2008. The Settlement Commission thereafter passed an<\/p>\n
     order on 31.10.2008.\n<\/p>\n
             Section 32F has been substituted by Act No. 22 of 2007 with effect from<\/p>\n
     1.6.2007. Section 32F(10) as it originally stood read as under :\n<\/p>\n
                    “Where any duty payable in pursuance of an order<\/p>\n
                    under sub section (7) is not paid by the assessee within<\/p>\n
                    thirty days of the receipt of a copy of the order by him,<\/p>\n
                    then, whether or not the Settlement Commission has<\/p>\n
                    extended the time for payment of such duty or has<\/p>\n
                    allowed payment thereof by installments, the assessee<\/p>\n
                    shall be liable to pay simple interest at the rate of<\/p>\n
                    eighteen per cent per annum or at such other rate as<\/p>\n
                    notified by the Central Board of Excise and Customs<\/p>\n
                    on the amount remaining unpaid from the date of<\/p>\n
                    expiry of the period of thirty days aforesaid.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

            It would thus be clear that earlier this was power in the tribunal to grant<\/p>\n
     installments.\n<\/p>\n
        4. Earlier Petitioners had filed a petition before this court being W.P. No. 2005<\/p>\n
            of 2008 dated 20.6.2008 challenging the order dated 29.2.2008 passed by the<\/p>\n
            Commission in not allowing the application to be proceeded with. This court<\/p>\n
            by its order dated 20.6.2008 sent the matter back for fresh hearing. In the<\/p>\n
            instant case, after remand the application was allowed to be proceeded<\/p>\n
            considering section 32F as settled with effect from 1.6.2007 is relevant.\n<\/p>\n
            Section 32F(8) is relevant and which reads as under :\n<\/p>\n
                     “The order passed under sub section (5) shall provide<\/p>\n
                     for the terms of settlement including any demand by<\/p>\n
                     way of duty, penalty or interest, the manner in which<\/p>\n
                     any sums due under the settlement shall be paid and<\/p>\n
                     all other matters to make th settlement effective and in<\/p>\n
                     case of rejection contain the reasons therefor and it<\/p>\n
                     shall also provide that the settlement shall be void if it<\/p>\n
                     is subsequently found by the Settlement Commission<\/p>\n
                     that   it   has   been     obtained     ;by    fraud,     or<\/p>\n
                     misrepresentation of facts.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n                                                5<\/span><\/p>\n
     5.     While introducing the Bill, Clause 112 of the Finance Bill stated as under :\n<\/p>\n
                   “Clause 112 seeks to substitute section 32F of the<\/p>\n
                   Central Excise Act with a view to specify time limit at<\/p>\n
                   every stage for the disposal of the application field<\/p>\n
                   before    the Settlement Commission, it, inter alia,<\/p>\n
                   provides that in respect of an application filed on or<\/p>\n
                   before 31st May, 2007, the order shall be passed by 28 th<\/p>\n
                   February, 2008 and in respect of the application made<\/p>\n
                   on or before 1st day of June, 2007, the order shall be<\/p>\n
                   passed within nine months of the application. It also<\/p>\n
                   provides that the amount of settlement ordered by the<\/p>\n
                   Commission shall in no case be less than duty liability<\/p>\n
                   admitted by the applicant. It further provides that the<\/p>\n
                   settlement amount shall be paid within 30 days of the<\/p>\n
                   receipt of the order and no extension for payment of<\/p>\n
                   settlement    amount    shall   be   granted      by    the<\/p>\n
                   Commission.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            From the above provisions, it would be clear that under sub sections 32F(8)<\/p>\n
     and (10) as it earlier stood, it was open to the settlement commission to make<\/p>\n
     payments by installments. No such specific provision has been made under section<\/p>\n
     32F(8) as now substituted. Under section 32F(9) the amount which remains unpaid<\/p>\n
     within 30 days of the direction to pay, then the sums can be recovered in the manner<\/p>\n

     as set out under section 11. The two other provisions which are relevant are section<\/p>\n
     32M and 32N which reads as under :\n<\/p>\n
                   “32M. Order of settlement to be conclusive – Every<\/p>\n
                   order of settlement passed under sub section (5) of<\/p>\n
                   section 32F shall be conclusive as to the matters stated<\/p>\n
                   therein and no matter covered by such order shall, save<\/p>\n
                   as otherwise provided in this Chapter, be reopened in<\/p>\n
                   any proceeding under this Act or under any other law<\/p>\n
                   for the time being in force.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                   “32N. Recovery of sums due under order of settlement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                   – Any sum specified in an order of settlement passed<\/p>\n
                   under sub section (5) of section 32F may, subject to<\/p>\n
                   such conditions if any as may be specified therein, be<\/p>\n
                   recovered, and     any penalty for default in making<\/p>\n
                   payment of such sum may be imposed and recovered<\/p>\n
                   as sums due to the Central Government in accordance<\/p>\n
                   with the provisions under section 11 by the Central<\/p>\n
                   Excise Officer having jurisdiction over the person who<\/p>\n
                   made the application for settlement under section 32E.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
        6. Considering the above, it is clear that as the order of settlement commission<\/p>\n
            is final and mode of recovery is also set out therein, it will not be open to the<\/p>\n
                                                         ::: Downloaded on – 09\/06\/2013 14:45:22 :::<\/span>

           Collector of Central Excise assuming that the circular of 5th August 1985 and<\/p>\n
           11.4.1994 to interfere with the order passed by the Settlement Commission,<\/p>\n
           which is exercising quasi judicial powers. In the circumstances, can a writ<\/p>\n
           court exercising extra ordinary jurisdiction, when the settlement commission<\/p>\n
           has thought it fit not to grant any installment, grant installments assuming that<\/p>\n
           under section 32F(8) there is an implied power to grant installments. This<\/p>\n
           court ordinarily, ought not to interfere in the exercise of its extra ordinary<\/p>\n
           jurisdiction with the order passed by the Settlement Commission.\n<\/p>\n
        7. Apart from that as we have pointed out the language of section 32F(10) as it<\/p>\n
           earlier stood read with section 32(7) provided for installments. That is not the<\/p>\n
           case now.     In other words it must be assumed that the legislature has<\/p>\n
           expressly done away with the power to make payment by installments. In<\/p>\n
           respect of similar provisions pertaining to the Income Tax Act, by Finance<\/p>\n
           Act, 1984 w.e.f. 1.10.1984 the powers of the Settlement Commission to grant<\/p>\n
           payment by installments has been recognized. That continues till date. On the<\/p>\n
           other hand in the present legislation the power conferred under erstwhile<\/p>\n
           section 32F(10) has been omitted from section 32F as it now stands. This also<\/p>\n
           would indicate the legislative intent not to provide for installments.\n<\/p>\n
        8. For all the aforesaid reasons, we find that there is no merit in this matter.\n<\/p>\n
           Rule discharged. There shall be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
